Jennifer Garner, her sister and Seraphina, 5, spent time at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif. on Friday (April 18). Jennifer turned 42 the day before. According to E! News the actress wore a “It’s My Birthday” button.

On Saturday the Draft Day star took both Samuel, 2, and Seraphina toy shopping in Brentwood. Violet, 8, was with dad Ben Affleck at a school event.

Garner recently said on The Tonight Show, “Benjamin is good, he’s great. I get home Friday and he leaves that day for Batman. I know, it’s going to be awful, though, because he’s been home now for a few months and when he’s really home, he’s so in dad mode and I think he’s going to have a hard time.”

During a Wednesday appearance on The Tonight Show, mom-of-three Jennifer Garner promoted her new film, Draft Day, and opened up about family life with husband Ben Affleck and their three kids: Violet, 8, Seraphina, 5, and Samuel, 2.

“Benjamin is good, he’s great,” she gushed of her hunky hubby. ”I get home Friday and he leaves that day for Batman. I know, it’s going to be awful, though, because he’s been home now for a few months and when he’s really home, he’s so in dad mode and I think he’s going to have a hard time.”

As for their parenting roles, the actress says there’s a clear division in their household.

“We are divided down a very mom-dad [line]. If it has to do with making food, or homework or anything that has to do with actually functioning, that’s a mom thing,” she shared. “Then coming in, just as you’re getting them to bed and picking them up by their heels and swinging them around? That’s a dad thing. Anything fun, that is Ben!”

The Alias alum, 41, went on to say that Ben is “psyched to finally have a little boy,” and they have a special bond.

“He LOVES his girls, but he’s serious about his son right now,” Jen said. “So, he taught him about his bits. He taught him about his ‘P’ and his two ‘N’s.’ Now anytime we pass a dog who’s walking on the street or we’re at a zoo or something, our poor little son is crouching down and looking up and he’s like, ‘Mama, does that have a vagina or a penis and two nuts.’”

With host Jimmy Fallon cracking up, the actress quipped, “That’s what Ben’s been up to.”

A-list couple Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck stepped out with their 5-year-old daughter Seraphina in Brentwood, Calif. on Thursday (February 6). After enjoying breakfast at Farmshop at the Brentwood Country Mart, the trio were seen heading to the car.

Jen recently revealed that the family – including their daughter Violet, 8, and son Samuel, nearly 2 – will be spending the summer in Detroit, where Ben will begin filming the Man of Steel sequel.

“I’ll be there this summer,” Jen told Detroit sports radio channel 105.1 FM. “Yep, all summer…Batman is shooting…or whatever it’s called. I don’t know what it’s called. Superman with Batman, or whatever it is. But he is shooting this summer, so we’ll be there.”

Meanwhile, the mom-of-three is working on her latest movie, the football-themed film Draft Day, costarring Kevin Costner.

Continue looking through our photos of the glam gowns and dapper tuxedos. Who was the best – and worst – dressed of the evening?

Jennifer Garner brought Samuel, nearly 2, to a class at Kidville in Brentwood, Calif. on Tuesday (January 14). As they were leaving – the Dallas Buyers Club actress took photos of the paparazzi with her phone. Samuel smiled and held onto a Perrier bottle.

Earlier in the morning Garner and Ben Affleck were spotted heading back to their car after getting coffee at the Brentwood Country Mart.

The Gone Girl star has said he loves having a family. He gushed last year, “They’re most important in my life. Family is a wonderful thing, but it doesn’t mean you can’t do other stuff in your life. In fact, having a family makes whatever other thing you have that much richer. If it was just me, I’d be home alone and think, ‘Well, something good happened at work,’ but it’s much nicer to share it with people you love.”

He added, “I think anytime you become a richer person you have more substance. I hope that happened to me with having a family, but you never know!”

Jennifer Garner gave Ben Affleck a kiss before heading to the Brentwood Country Mart with Seraphina in Brentwood, Calif. on Wednesday (December 11).

The day before the actress and their nanny took both Seraphina, almost 5, and Violet, 8, to Baskin-Robbins after school.

In his interview with Playboy – Affleck gushed over Jennifer giving him strength in his work.

He said, “We met on ‘Pearl Harbor’ … but we fell in love on Daredevil. That hole was a series of movies that didn’t work, and one in particular was widely mocked because it had a funny name and overlapped with the tabloid situation.

“I sunk into a morass. I thought, OK, I want to get out of this. My wife was definitely around then. Getting to know her, falling in love with her and being connected with her gave me a foundation to reach out and say, OK, I’m going to do “Hollywoodland”; I’m going to direct “Gone Baby Gone.”

He added, “She is by leaps and bounds the most important person to me in that respect,” he says. “Over the past 10 years, she has allowed me to have a stable home life while accomplishing my professional goals.”

Home again after a quick trip to Japan to promote Max Mara in Tokyo, Jennifer Garner stepped out with her son Samuel, 20 months, in Santa Monica, Calif. on Thursday (November 7). While running some errands, the Alias alum toted her tot and his baby doll.

Last weekend, we spotted the entire Garner-Affleck crew – including papa Ben Affleck and big sisters Violet, 7, and Seraphina, 4 – out and about in Los Angeles.

The high-profile couple are busy as ever.

Jennifer is currently promoting her new movie, Dallas Buyers Club, while Ben is set to star in the upcoming Batman vs. Superman blockbuster film.

Mom-of-three Jennifer Garner gave her 1-year-old son Samuel a smooch after taking him to breakfast alongside the nanny at the Brentwood Country Mart on Thursday morning (October 31).

During a Friday appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the Dallas Buyers Club actress called her husband Ben Affleck “spermy.”

“Spermy has so far, been held at bay,” Jen joked, nicknaming her fertile husband. ”There are 57 kinds of contraceptives used pretty much [every day]. Three of them are under the age of 8. But yes, so far so good, ha. Stop it, stop it in its tracks.”

Referring also to their daughters Violet, 7, and Seraphina, 4, the funny mom added,

“I think that’s enough,” she shared. “I think we have provided the world with enough.”

In case you missed them, check out the great shots of the Garner-Afflecks trick-or-treating in their Brentwood neighborhood on Halloween night.

Jennifer Garner picked up Seraphina, 4, and Violet, 7, from school in Santa Monica, Calif. on Monday (October 7).

The actress recently lobbied to change paparazzi laws in the Golden State. During her interview with Today last week she shared that the family considered moving out of California if the laws didn’t pass.

She explained, “We had looked at all different things, moving out of California, you know all manners of things. I think that there’s an idea that because our pictures are everywhere that we’re complicit in it, when really what happens is they’re waiting outside our door every single day. I can’t go to the mailbox without getting my picture taken, so I don’t.”

E! News reports Garner is hopeful that now that the law has passed, her kids won’t have “really aggressive men, yelling and screaming five feet away from their faces” during their daily lives.

“My kids take karate, for example, and we have our classes at the same time every week. So, the guys know when we have karate. And so 20 of them wait there for us every single class. So that’s a lot of energy coming at little, little kids.”

Dallas Buyers Club actress Jennifer Garner was photographed with her joyful daughter Violet, 7, on Saturday (September 28). After running some errands in Los Angeles and Brentwood, the mother-daughter duo headed to Pacific Palisades to do some grocery shopping at Gelson’s Market.

The day before, Jen and Vi were spotted at Aahs! to check out some Halloween costumes after karate class.

The pretty pair were not joined by the rest of the Garner-Affleck crew — including papa Ben Affleck, lil’ sister Seraphina, 4, and baby brother Samuel, 1.

Amidst her busy career and family life, Jennifer has been lobbying to change paparazzi laws in the Golden State.

On Tuesday, Gov. Jerry Brown of California signed into law a bill that “will make it a misdemeanor to attempt to photograph or videotape a child in a harassing manner if the image is being taken because the child’s parent is a celebrity or public official,” according to the Los Angeles Times.

While the current penalties for harassment is up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000, the new penalty in addition to the misdemeanor will be up to one year in jail and a possible fine of $10,000.

“I don’t want a gang of shouting, arguing, law-breaking photographers who camp out everywhere we are, all day every day, to continue traumatizing my kids,” Jennifer testified before the California State Assembly in August.

It was a daddy-daughter date for Ben Affleck and his 4-year-old daughter Seraphina in Malibu, Calif. on Sunday (September 8).

The Academy Award-winner brought along a picnic mat while Sera toted a stylish bag. The duo were seen without big sis Violet, 7, and baby brother Samuel, 1.

Meanwhile, mama Jennifer Garner is premiering her new movie, Dallas Buyers Club, at the Toronto Film Festival.

While promoting her new film, Jen couldn’t escape questions about her hubby’s new role as Batman. When the casting choice was announced last month, it sparked an online backlash.

“Believe me, you can’t expect anything else,” Garner said of the fuss. “He’s a grown-up … that is just what you’re getting into. But he’s going to be fantastic.”

She added that they kept the Batman role secret for “months and months.”

Dallas Buyers Club features Matthew McConaughey as real-life Texas electrician Ron Woodroof, who fought to smuggle HIV/AIDS drugs from Mexico in the 1980s. Jennifer plays the doctor who tries to help him.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck took Violet, 7, and Samuel, 1, to the farmers market in Pacific Palisades, Calif. on Sunday morning (August 11). Seraphina, 4, wasn’t seen with them.

The couple smiled buying a box of berries to take home while Violet looked on. Samuel sat in his stroller and wore a Boston Red Sox hat. The Argo star once said in a Jimmy Kimmel interview that his son is “a great little guy. He’s got the face and physique exactly of Babe Ruth.”

On Friday (August 9) Jennifer was seen picking up Seraphina from her ballet class. Beforehand she and Violet ran errands and had lunch in Brentwood.

In the meantime the mom-of-three has wrapped on Dallas Buyers Club and Draft Day and is currently working on Imagine with Al Pacino and Annette Benning.

Yeah … gotta be honest here. I have never found Jennifer Garner especially attractive. I don’t know what it is about her that doesn’t really work for me but it’s definitely something. I suppose there have been photos here and there I’ve liked but for the most part, I just don’t really get why people go so nuts over her. That isn’t to say I don’t like her because I do. She seems to have a great personality and she seems to be a great mother but yeah, just don’t really find her attractive. I do, however, like these shots of Jennifer Garner showing off her booty in jeans, out in Pacific Palisades but even still, I find the shots underwhelming overall. I guess she’s just not my type.

Actress Jennifer Garner was seen kissing her sweet son in Brentwood, Calif. on Saturday (August 3). Joined by her daughters Violet, 7, and Seraphina, 4, Jen couldn’t help but plant a few smooches on her 1-year-old tot’s cheek after having dinner at Toscana restaurant.

Earlier that same day, the Butter star was seen kissing Samuel during their outing at the Natural History Museum.

And on Sunday, the entire Garner-Affleck crew – including papa Ben Affleck – were seen picking up some fresh produce and flowers at the farmer’s market in Pacific Palisades.

“It’s great. Raising kids is the greatest thing I think a person, or at least I, could ever do in my life,” the Argo star added. “I know what the best part of my life is and it’s my kids and it doesn’t mean there aren’t other things that aren’t great, but I know sort of what the center is.”

Jennifer Garner and Violet, 7, spent time together at a farmer’s market in Brentwood, Calif. on Sunday (July 28). The two shopped for flowers, vegetables and juices.

Violet carried her pink purse as well as some of their purchases.

Garner is currently filming Imagine with Al Pacino.

According to deadline.com - the story is about an aging 1970s rock star who is still packing arenas and living a decadent life with a girlfriend way too young for him. On his 64th birthday, he discovers an undelivered letter written to his 19-year-old self from his hero John Lennon. He also tries to reconnect with the 40-year-old son he’s never known. Jennifer plays Pacino’s daughter-in-law.

Ben Affleck is busy on a new project too. He’ll be working in David Fincher’s adaptation of the Gillian Flynn-penned best seller Gone Girl.

Rumors of a baby bump won’t die down since the actress was again wearing loose clothing. Her navy sweater over her dress made her belly pop out a little.

Earlier this year she told The Telegraph that she’s happy being at home with the kids.

“I definitely work less because Ben is so busy but we have three kids, that’s just part of the deal. I want to be a mom. I’m happy for him that he’s as energized about work right now as he is. He should be out there doing it. That’s just what makes sense for our family.”

This year Jennifer worked on Dallas Buyers Club and Draft Day. She’s also set to be in Imagine.

And watch for Ben to next star in Runner, Runner, a crime drama thriller costarring Leonardo DiCaprio and Justin Timberlake.

Jennifer Garner and Seraphina went to get breakfast in Santa Monica, Calif. on Thursday (May 2). The actress had her hands full holding coffee and her 4-year-old’s hand.

The day before Garner was seen doing the usual school run in Brentwood. A mom on the go – she wore a striped top, jeans and flats while picking up Violet. However there was a slight mishap when she tried to open the wrong car door.

According to The Daily Mail – she tried to pry open the passenger door of a car similar to her own. After a pause she realized her error and led Violet away.

Jennifer Garner had her day full with the kids on Friday (April 26). First she was seen with Samuel, 1, running errands around Brentwood. Then she picked up Violet from school in Santa Monica while chatting away on her phone.

Later she brought Violet, 7, and Seraphina, 4, to karate class. When they were leaving Violet playfully stuck out her tongue at the cameras.

In a recent interview The Odd Life Of Timothy Green actress talked about living under the lens of the paparazzi.

She told The Telegraph, “Seven cars followed me when I left home at seven o’clock this morning. I wish I could say that it doesn’t bother me. But you wouldn’t like it if you had it, and neither would anyone else. They sit outside my house every day. They wait for me at school drop-off and pick-up.”

Butter star Jennifer Garner was seen carrying her sweet son Samuel, 1, while out and about in Brentwood, Calif. on Friday (April 26). While Jen looked beautiful as always, baby Sam stole the show in his cute outfit while sporting that precious pout.

The day before, the mom-of-three was spotted with her daughters Violet, 7, and Seraphina, 4, in Santa Monica, Calif. After doing a little retail therapy at Limonaia and Janie & Jack, Jen and Sera later picked up Violet after school.

Jennifer is set to light up the big screen again later this year in The Dallas Buyer’s Club, costarring Matthew McConaughey.

Jennifer Garner took Seraphina to breakfast at the Brentwood Country Mart on Tuesday (April 16). Wearing all pink – the 4-year-old walked along eating her treat while mom carried her coffee.

On Sunday (April 14) – Garner was seen with all three children – including 1-year-old Samuel. She took them to Luxxe Cafe before taking them shopping in Santa Monica. Cute Samuel toddled along clinging onto a paper cup!

It was an eventful weekend. The family were just in St. Lucia to help celebrate Matt Damon and his wife Luciana’s renewal of their wedding vows.

The fact that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have to work on their marriage shouldn’t be a surprise, but when the actor stated so from the Oscars stage during 2013′s ceremony, many were left wondering what to make of the admission — notably, Jennifer Garner was not among them.

You may recall that while accepting the Best Picture Oscar for Argo, a bearded Ben Affleck said with a shaky, emotion-laden voice, “I want to thank my wife … for working on our marriage for 10 Christmases. It is work, but it’s the best kind of work. And there’s no one I’d rather work with.”

“I know Ben, I knew he meant it as the hugest, warmest compliment in the world,” Jennifer Garner recently told The Telegraph when asked about her husband’s unusual speech.

The 40-year-old mother of three added, “I think he was saying, ‘Look, what we have is really real and I value it above all and I’m in it with you and I know you are in it with me.’ That’s the way I took it.”

In hindsight, Ben Affleck’s comments were really much ado about nothing. He wasn’t hinting that there is trouble brewing in their 7-year marriage, he was just being honest in a way we’re not used to.

Hell yes, marriage takes work! My husband of 10 years and I just had a laugh the other night at how hard we have been working to get along whilst outside pressures have been piling up. “Can you imagine if we were fighting on top of everything else?” I asked him, thinking I could lose my sh*t at any minute over nothing. “Thanks for tip-toeing around me, us, while we’re so stressed out.”

We work it out — but I’m as guilty the rest about keeping the how and how often there’s effort being put in under tight wraps.

I’ve never been one to spill the personal details of any relationship to my mother or a girlfriend, but perhaps I ought to start. Would we all be better off and have a more realistic idea of what a marriage takes if we spoke openly about it? There is something a little comforting in knowing that Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck aren’t just floating along in ‘happily ever after’ while the rest of us try our darndest to sort things out!

Jennifer Garner‘s 4-year-old daughter Seraphina was all smiles while riding a pony at the farmer’s market in Pacific Palisades, Calif. on Sunday (April 7). Also joined by 7-year-old daughter Violet, the Alias alum, 40, picked up some fresh produce and enjoyed the sunshine with her smiley girls.

Proud papa Ben gushed to UsWeekly about his family. “They’re most important in my life,” adding. “Family is a wonderful thing, but it doesn’t mean you can’t do other stuff in your life. In fact, having a family makes whatever other thing you have that much richer.”

Busy mom, Jennifer Garner was seen heading into Gelson’s supermarket with 4-year-old Sera and 1-year-old Samuel – along with their nanny this morning, Sunday (March 17).

In his acceptance speech, the Argo star delivered another romantic nod to his lovely wife.

“I have to just thank my wife for being the best person in the world. I love you,” Ben, 40, said as he accepted the award for outstanding directorial achievement for Argo. “I don’t need to look at the teleprompter to know why I want to thank you. I want to thank you because I love you.”

He added: “I want our daughters to break boundaries.”

Our spinoff site, HerScoop, has rounded up Ben’s awards season speeches. And let’s just say he’s winning top honors with us in the romantic department!

The Argo star was beaming with pride as he accepted his award for Outstanding Producer at the Producers Guild Awards on January 26. And he was quick to credit his win to his wife and their three kids, including son Samuel, 11 months.

“I want to thank my kids, who are lovely and beautiful,” he stated during his acceptance speech on behalf of Argo. “[And] I want to thank my wife without whom I wouldn’t be able to do anything, let alone direct movies.”

As well, he recently took home Best Director and Best Motion Picture Drama awards at the Golden Globes for Argo.

During his acceptance speech he couldn’t help but gush about his seemingly-perfect family.

“I want to thank my three kids Violet, Sera and Sam, I love you guys,” Ben said. “And I want to thank my wife. She’s the reason I’m standing here. I adore you, I love you so much. Thanks for sitting through this. You’re my everything.”

And during the SAG Awards – held in Los Angeles on January 27 – Ben boasted about his stunning wife.

“She’s the most beautiful woman out there,” Ben raved after the Argo ensemble took home the award for outstanding performance by a motion picture cast.

During his acceptance speech he said, “I want to thank my wife who is the reason why I’m standing here. I adore you. I love you so much. Thanks for sitting through this. You are my everything. Thank you.”

It is amazing how celebrities always tend to get pregnant in clusters. Hmm… curious, is it not? The last cluster like this was in 2008-2009 when it seemed like every celebrity in Hollywood was preggers. And now is no different. Three of our most beautiful and talented starlett’s have gotten knocked up. And I am here to give you the skinny on the bellies! Jennifer Garner, mother of two and wife to used-to-be sexy dude Ben Affleck is Veeeery pregnant. But, on the subject of Ben… Have any of you noticed how unsexy he is lately? What is UP with that? Fatherhood has not been good to him or Brad Pitt, in my opinion. But, back on the subject of baby bumps, Jennifer was spotted in Santa Monica today getting some Mommy-time with some girlfriends. She was looking absolutely stunning, too. It’s crazy how a patterned scarf can uplift even the most blah of outfits, isn’t it? Had she not worn that scarf, I probably would have been here telling you how terrible she looked today. But — she did, and she does look beautiful. I’m not sure of her due date, other than it will be rather soon… Jessica Simpson was promoting a fashion show for Nicole Richie, looking absolutely fab, by the way. She was wearing a Roberto Cavalli dress that was clinging to that bump like a second skin. Unlike the rather slim — under the circumstances — Jennifer, Jessica has definitely plumped up a bit. But, that tends to happen with your first pregnancy. Jessica, even with the extra weight, looks absolutely stunning and will be popping sometime very soon, I’m sure. She has also announced that ‘It’s a Boy!!!’ Ah, and then we have music sensation and powerhouse, Beyonce, who is expecting fellow hip-hop front runner, Jay-Z’s baby. And, though there has been much controversy over this pregnancy of hers, she is still looking gorgeous. Also taking after Jessica, Ms. Bootylicious herself has packed on some baby LB’s for sure. But, I love me the curvy women, so I think she looks exceptional. As did many when she was spotted for the first time today since New Year’s. And, even though the rumor mill has been a-running that she has either had the baby girl already or isn’t even pregnant at all, two things are for sure: One — girl’s still got style! And two — she is still as sexy as ever! So, expect some news in the next few weeks, ladies and gents. Because some extremely beautiful future celebrities will be making their way into this world very soon!!!

Here’s Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner taking their daughter out for ice cream yesterday (or they kidnapped Abigail Breslin) when things got a little tense when Ben started shooting the birdie at a paparazzi. I’d be on edge too if I had to have sex with Skeletor back there. I’m sure when he’s doing that pasty man face hump, he dreams of J. Lo’s soft Puerto Rican butt and how that was the last time he felt like a man.

In all seriousness though, I think we can all appreciate getting tired of having your photo taken, BUT I think Ben has lost track of the fact that IT’S HIS JOB. Actors don’t get paid millions of dollars for a couple weeks work because they deserve it, it’s all part of the “famous person lifestyle” that they seem to enjoy so much. You don’t get to say “I want the money, but I don’t want my picture taken” any more than the rest of us can tell our bosses “I want to get paid, but I don’t want to do any work”.

Ben, if you don’t want to have your picture taken, that’s fine. Take your money and go live a quiet life of solitude. But as long as you make your living being a famous actor, shut up, stick that finger up your ass, and smile for the camera.

His younger brother Casey Affleck may never stand a chance to grace the podium of honesty (remember that Joaquin Phoenix mockumentary?), but elder bro Ben Affleck has proved that he’s a daredevil in this department too. The Oscar winner has been applauded for his honesty by a West Virginia casino owner after Ben returned a $250,000 cheque upon discovering he’d been mistakenly paid twice for an appearance.

The Oscar winner was mistakenly send two $250,000 (GBP166,670) payments for attending the star-studded grand opening of an $80 million (GBP53.3 million) casino at the famed Geenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs on 2 July (10). And casino owner Jim Justice is heaping praise on the star for not pocketing the extra cash - because his accounting staff wouldn’t have spotted the error.
